“…Flossing is an alternative to plaque removal, but it is carried out by only 33.42% of subjects and only 10.3% of them do this consistently. The results obtained are in accordance with the data obtained in certain studies conducted and published in the literature [ 48 , 50 , 82 , 83 , 84 , 85 ]. In general, according to specialized studies, regardless of the adjuvants used, when they are used, an improvement in oral hygiene indices, plaque indices and bleeding indices is obtained [ 86 , 87 , 88 , 89 , 90 , 91 ].…”

Background and Objectives: the purpose of this study was to evaluate students’ level of knowledge and attitude towards oral hygiene. Materials and Methods: the evaluation was carried out by a questionnaire, with 30 Q (questions) as follows: demographic data (Q1–Q5), oral hygiene knowledge data (Q6–Q23) and oral hygiene attitude data (Q24–Q30). The study included students from Romanian schools and the selection of the study group was made following selection criteria in accordance with ethical issues. A descriptive statistical analysis was performed and a value of p ≤ 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: the study included a number of 718 subjects with a mean age of 14.54 (±2.22), male 250 (34.8%) and female 468 (65.2%), MS (middle school students) 354 (49.4%) and HH (high school students) 364 (50.6%). Most of the subjects 292 (MS = 160; HS = 132) know a toothbrushing technique, p = 0.009, r = 0.091 and 587 (MS = 278; HS = 309) know that brushing removes the bacterial plaque p = 0.027, r = −0.082 but only 147 (MS = 71; HS = 76) know that (by) brushing can re-mineralize hard dental structures. The duration of the toothbrushing is variable, for 2- or 3-min p = 0.058, r = 0.043. Criteria for choosing the toothbrush were based mainly on the indications of the dentist, respectively, for toothpaste on its properties. The frequency of toothbrushing is mainly twice a day 428 (MS = 234; HS = 248), p = 0.079, r = 0.037, 73 (MS = 33; HS = 40) after every meal. p = 0.099, r = 0.095. Mouthwash is used by 421 (MS = 199; HS = 222) p = 0.111, r = −0.048, and 228 (MS = 199; HS = 222) after each brushing. Dental floss is used by 240 (MS = 106; HS = 134), p = 0.031, r = −0.073 and only 74 (MS = 41; HS = 33) after each brushing. Conclusions: there are differences in the level of knowledge and attitudes regarding the determinants of oral hygiene depending on the level of education.

“…The attitude towards the mouthwash and dental floss was presented in many studies [ 73 , 74 , 75 , 76 , 77 , 78 , 79 , 80 , 81 , 82 , 83 , 84 , 85 , 86 , 87 , 88 , 89 , 90 , 91 , 92 , 93 , 94 , 95 ]. The use of toothbrush adjuvants is necessary to remove plaque from inaccessible spaces.…”

“…This tag might often mislead the lay population, as such statements label fluoride as a toxic ingredient. Although an unregulated amount of fluoride is detrimental, the use of fluoridated denitrifies is a necessity for healthy dentition [27,28]. In our study, the respondents had almost equal opinions about herbal and non-herbal dentifrices.…”

Introduction:The use and abuse of over-the-counter (OTC) pro ducts have been well-documented in multiple studies across the globe. Objectives: To evaluate the knowledge and attitude of healthcare students (medical and para-medical students) of a private institution in India on OTC oral healthcare products and dental practices. Material and methods: A validated questionnaire comprising twenty questions in English was drafted. The questionnaire was divided into three sections. First section consisted of demographical data, and second and third sections involved questions regarding knowledge (9 questions) and attitude (11 questions) of participants about OTC oral healthcare products and their ingredients. Results:The current research included 1,024 participants. There were 376 male and 648 female participants. The participants selected their oral care products depending on various factors. A mixed response was found in certain aspects. Conclusions: Overall knowledge and attitude of the study population regarding OTC healthcare products proved to be satisfactory. Additionally, even though the sample size was significant, it was limited to certain geographic boundaries.

“…In line with these findings, Hu et al (12), and Cordova et al (14), agree that the minimum recommended concentration of fluoride in toothpastes is 1000 ppm, a perspective supported by Hernández et al (13). This authors not only confirm the importance of reaching this threshold, but also highlight the need to apply appropriate amounts according to the individual's age and promote the practice of tooth brushing as an essential component to strengthen oral health.…”

Aim:Through this literature review, we seek to determine the optimal level of fluoride present in pediatric toothpastes, identifying the recommended amount according to scientific literature, in addition to evaluate the effects of fluoride on children's dental health and its effectiveness in prevention of caries and also identify the risks of excessive fluoride exposure. Materials and methods: Searches were carried out for articles published in the last 5 years in electronic databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Scielo, ScienceDirect, UpToDate, Google Academic. The search used a combination of the following keywords: "toothpaste" AND "pediatrics" AND "dosage" AND "fluoride". Results: 14,118 abstracts were registered: 1,407 from PubMed, 1,043 from Scopus, 355 from ScienceDirect, 10,200 from Google Academic, 913 from Scielo, 200 from UpToDate. After reviewing the abstracts, 14,095 records were removed according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, leaving 31 full-text articles for examination. Finally, 19 full-text articles were included and evaluated in this review. Conclusion: The presence of adequate concentrations of fluoride in toothpastes has a positive influence in oral health, especially on the prevention of dental caries. Several reviewed studies reveal that the optimal amount of fluoride in pediatric toothpastes should be greater than 1000 ppm but not exceed 1500 ppm to obtain the maximum anti-caries effect and prevent adverse effects such as dental fluorosis.
